The second part, yes. But winetest must have been made into
a console app, so it pops up a console when it starts. The
console test would pop up a console anyway (we should hide
it), but if a console is already present it is used instead.

Sure, but some tests would better be fixed anyway. Examples:
kernel32:file leaves a temp file behind
kernel32:pipe loops forever on Win9x/Me (not included in my
version of winetest)
oleaut32:vartest takes too long to complete
user32:dialog tends to hose Win9x
user32:input hangs
Thanks everybody for helping us testing this thing! There
is more to come: a program running as a Windows service in
the background, downloading and running new versions of
winetest as they come out: WinRash! Watch this place! :)
